I remember well the oath I made that fall As the All-Father took reign from his mighty hall I have vowed to honor him and the Gods of light Bring back life to ancient tales man lost in the night This blessed curse is now my world This blessed curse is what I'm worth As the Green Man's time came over all the land The icy grip of death had its hold on man I have kissed the muse been blinded by the light Now I tell the ancient tales man lost in the night (Chorus)

Reaching out from the ancient graves The truth is found within the ash The dead still have something to say Within the clay of Man's past The time is here the logic clear Throw off the hate that's shackled man Seek out the truth lost in our youth It's not too late to understand Deciphering the ancient clay Has brought new light upon our past And given birth to a new day Where truth and wisdom have a chance (Chorus)

Sumeria, the beginning of the science of man Cuneiform, man's first writings from a civilized land Niniva's grand library of Ashurbanipal Tomes of clay tell the stories of the truth that was lost Gilgamesh, first true epic plagiarized by new faith Ancient tales so historic that refute christian hate Babylons true beginnings in this knowledge so pure Zigurat still is standing in the city of Ur

Before Sumeria's kingdom was realized A city walled with many gates Found in northern lands of Mesopotamia A jewel of early city states The dead still speak out from the grave The fires of battle came to rage upon these walls Destroying all within its gates Sumeria would soon emerge out of this fall The Phoenix rises from the flames (Chorus)

Have you questioned the truth of your faith Know its origins Have you passed the light of the gate Be it forbidden The blinded still pray To plagiarized lore They say it's the way No other before Follow your own path of light Seek out the wisdom Drink of the waters of life Be it forbidden It's not too late Save your own soul Make your own fate Never let go Feels like we're falling Into the pit of despair No angels calling Chasing away all your fears It's not too late Save your own soul Make your own fate Never let go Feels like we're falling Into the pit of despair No angels calling Chasing away all your fears

The battles rage across Mesopotamia Giving birth to the land of kings A war between Sumer and the Akkadians Brought forth a civilized world dream A world of dreams and fears The birth pangs of a new bronze age The truth of life is here The words are written in the clay Before the times of great kings of Assyria Before the rise of Babylon Before the light of Luxifera was a thought The lore of Gilgamesh was taught (Chorus)

So many cultures assimilated Absorbed by the conquering tribes Created what would be a new order First dynasty of power and might The reign of dreams Given life by Sumer's kings The reign of dreams Unto elder Gods the priests did sing Kings of invention and the architects Who laid the founding blocks of man Civilization was born of this age A time when dreams did rule the land (Chorus)

The first telling of the deluge Within the epic Gilgamesh With every creature two by two Upon the ark and saved from death Open up your mind Read between the lines Wisdom is the prize To be pagan is heresy According to the good king James In truth these words are blasphemy Unto the Gods of man's first faiths Open up your mind Read between the lines Wisdom is the prize Open up your eyes Fire rains from the sky Luxifera's light Just like the times of the crusades Medieval thought does still prevail The faith of hate cuts like a blade And hides the truth behind the veil Open up your mind Read between the lines Wisdom is the prize

These thoughts could be considered heresy But history's truth is in our face We must get past religious lunacy If there's hope for the human race Out of the ashes of our past Comes proof of who we are at last These words could be considered blasphemy But knowledge ebbs up from the grave Stop spilling blood for Gods insanity And put away the sword of hate Out of the ashes of our past Comes proof of who we are at last Out of the ashes of our past

The light is shining Upon the race of man Though most of us are blinded And never understand That honor breeds from virtue In like of elder clans Their spirits stand beside you To make a stand defending man From the abyss We have felt the muses kiss Who will be calling Unto the Gods of old Technology is driving The old ways from our souls So hang unto the memory Of ancients brave and bold And never break the circle Of magik lore that stays the horde From the abyss I have felt the muses kiss We have felt the muses kiss We have felt the muses kiss

And I do believe That you will carry on Even when I leave I know that you'll be strong Here I will be for you Till the end of all time Till the end of time And I do believe That you will be the one Who will set me free And save me with your love (Chorus) And I do believe in you You must all carry on Even thou I have left you You must always be strong The muse brought me to you In the wink of an eye The voice of a true fool In quest of the light

I've spent a lifetime reading signs To make the future known To step inside the blessed light And let the truth be told Cause life, yes life must go on And now I see the end of time In the burning coals Even though they deem this a crime I have to tell the story Cause life, yes life must go on Life, life goes on Life, life goes on I have to hide the truth in rhyme To save my mortal soul Persecution comes with fire For heretics and lords Cause life, yes life must go on (Chorus)

Halloween on the moors the moon burns full and bright It seems we've been here before the fog creeps through the night Camped upon shining Tor we burn the Rowan Fires Hear the hunters horns this night And it seems like England in the days of old Oh the night is warm but I am cold Oh from the fires of Hell I hear the haunting cries Eh reminding us of this night of nights Oh these feelings come to me from deep inside Eh the Hounds of Yeth lead the Midnight Ride Oh as the energy sends shivers down my spine Eh I see the cycles of my life Oh can you ever tell fate from destiny Eh this night both can set you free The stars they shine so bright A mystery we cannot light The difference from wrong and right is forgotten tonight So now we know for sure the hunt is on this night Annwyn is really there and will be for all time The spirits of the dead shall fly to Avalon The yellow eyed Hounds of Yeth howl on And it seems like England in the days of old Oh the night, the night is warm but I am cold Oh from the fires of Hell I hear the haunting cries Eh reminding us of this night of nights Oh these feelings come to me from deep inside Eh the Hounds of Yeth lead the Midnight Ride Oh as the energy sends shivers down my spine Eh I see the cycles of my life Oh can you ever tell fate from destiny Eh this night both can set you free Oh I do hear the cries inside my hazy head Eh The Rowan Fires summon up the dead Oh the air is filled with horns of warriors bold Eh they ride the sky searching for lost souls Halloween in the moors here on Shining Tor Halloween in the moors here on Shining Tor Halloween in the moors here on Shining Tor Halloween Halloween A night of conquest summoned But this we did not know We fly on demon horses Collecting all lost souls The winds of mighty Annwyn Blow in from coast to coast The Hounds of Yeth are calling To all the wandering souls Some souls are lost forever But some still have a chance To ride with ancient warlords Across these blessed lands The Rowan Fires are burning The Hounds of Yeth lead on The Wild Hunt has opened The Gates of Avalon

Through the magik of music I have searched for the key to the door In my mind it's so perfect Most beautiful chord It's so clear whe I'm dreaming Sound so epic I've not heard before Can you tell me the reason So elusive this chord Lo and behold Blessed I am to hear this Cursed I am to be lost in this search It's the muses lasting kiss Tis blessed this curse It's so clear whe I'm dreaming Sound so epic I've not heard before Can you tell me the reason So elusive this chord Lo and behold I will never stop searching For this magikal mystery chord Maybe I am still dreaming I'll find the lost chord Blessed I am to hear this Cursed I am to be lost in this search It's the muses lasting kiss Tis blessed this curse

All this life your unforgiven If you seek the truth of the stars A requiem for man's salvation If we don't ever reach out that far Devilish is man's deception Using faith to mentally enslave Grave the cost of mass redemption Feeding fires of war that steal the brave Just one way to our survival Pioneer the universe of space
